When I heard that Mary Katrantzou was collaborating with
Adidas Originals, I nearly lost my marbles. She is one of the few fashion
designers I am truly in utter awe of.
For those of you who are unaware of Mary Katrantzou and all her glory,
she is the queen and god of digital print. Her attention to the placement of
prints to flatter any and everybody is impeccable. Not to mention her use of
colour just makes me giddy every time I see her collections.
And this collaboration was no disappointment. Mary Katrantzou x Adidas Originals is
a kaleidoscope of colour, her signature graphics and everything in between, has
created a synergy of strength and femininity.
She has taken her inspiration from track shoes worn by medal winners in
the 1970s and 1980s. Her graphics are made up of elements of these track shoes,
whether it is the strong lace print or the panelled lines to suggest
the form of a shoe. All the while maintain a flattering design for all forms in
bursts of electric blues, ruby reds and emerald greens neoprenes. And she has
even designed some hella awesome sneakers to match her garments, making the
ultimate sports luxe collection whole.
Sadly though, the price range of this collection is way beyond your bank
balances or mine. So for now, we can just sit back and admire this beautiful
fusion of high end fashion meets sportswear.
